All Chapters of The Baby They Swapped: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Genevieve, just look at the thing you gave birth to."Patricia slammed her thermos onto the coffee table the second I walked through the doors with my baby in my arms."He's all wrinkled, and his cry is so weak that even a person's whisper is louder than his. Even worse, he doesn't even look like Gabriel? You didn't cheat on him and have this kid with someone else, did you?"I ignored her and lowered my head to straighten the baby's swaddle. "Patricia, you were the one who brought this baby back from the hospital."Patricia's expression stiffened for a moment, and she averted her eyes. "So what if I brought him back? Who knows who his father is?"I paid her no mind and carried the baby boy into the bedroom.My seven-year-old daughter, Nina, was lying beside the bed. She blinked up at me before asking, "Mom, is Oliver asleep?"I stroked her head. "Yes."Nina rose onto her tiptoes and leaned toward the baby for a look. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered, "Mom, I pulled of

The doorbell rang bright and early the next morning.Patricia ran to answer it with a huge grin plastered across her face.The moment the door opened, a strong wave of perfume hit me in the face.Evelyn walked in wearing a fitted designer dress and high heels. She had a tightly swaddled baby in her arms. Meanwhile, Gabriel followed close behind her, carrying bags of all sizes.The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked in, looking every bit like a family of three.I sat on the couch, watching the whole show with cold eyes.Evelyn glanced at me, a smug smile curling at the corners of her lips."Genevieve, I'm so sorry. Gabriel insisted on bringing me over for a visit. He said you'd been cooped up at home after having the baby, so he wanted me to bring my baby over to keep you company."Gabriel set the bags down and immediately poured Evelyn a glass of warm water. "Evelyn just got out of the hospital. She's still weak, so don't make her stand."Patricia was even more ove

The entire room fell silent following the dull thud. Then came the faintest, most heartbreaking cry of a baby.Evelyn had actually thrown the baby in her arms onto the floor.The guests around us sucked in shocked breaths, and whispers immediately broke out.Gabriel's face went deathly pale. He shoved Evelyn aside and rushed to check on the baby lying on the floor.In the meantime, Evelyn seemed to have lost her mind. Her eyes were bloodshot as she lunged at me. "Give me my son back, you bitch!"I stepped aside and held Oliver tightly against my chest, shielding him with my body.Patricia panicked when she saw this. She completely dropped all pretense and rushed over to block my escape.She pointed a finger right at my face, spittle flying as she shouted, "Genevieve, I am done pretending! That healthy, chubby boy in your arms isn't your son at all!"He is Gabriel and Evelyn's biological son! That sickly child of yours who was doomed to die young was switched out long ago!"The

Nina's childish voice rang out through the now-silent banquet hall. "That night, I saw Grandma secretly take Oliver away. She put Oliver beside that woman's bed. Then, she brought that woman's sick baby back to my mom. Grandma even called that sick baby a bastard."After Grandma left, that woman fell asleep. So, I sneaked inside and switched Oliver back. I also cut off the blue plastic band that said 'Evelyn Reed's Son.'"Evelyn collapsed to the floor as soon as Nina finished speaking. She whipped around and stared at the baby on the ground.The child she had just slammed to the floor with her own hands was now so weak that he could barely let out a cry. "No… That's impossible."Evelyn crawled over on all fours, her hands trembling as she pulled open the baby's swaddle.She picked up the child from the floor and burst into tears. "My precious baby, I'm so sorry…"Patricia's eyes widened. "You ungrateful brat! What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"She charged at Nina like
